Our dealmakers in Washington came up with sequester because they thought it "was bad enough it would force compromise", but guess what, it didn't.
As far as I'm concerned, the Conservatives HAVE compromised. Obama GOT his tax increase. But I have YET to see a SINGLE DOLLAR cut in spending. These aren't even cuts at all, this is just a reduction in the PROJECTED spending. Do you realize this is the first time in American history that there hasn't been a budget in a Presidents entire term?
So, since the President and the Dems THINK they have the House Republicans cornered in the court of popular opinion, they are again pushing for tax increases. But I think this time the House is ready to go down into the rabbit hole. They've sent several proposals to the Senate, but Harry Reid won't allow them to the floor. So I think I'm ready for ANYTHING that FORCES our goverment to cut spending, even as nasty and reckless as sequester. I will be ticked if the Republicans back down this time, regardless if they catch the blame or not. Spending your daddy's credit card like a petulant teenager has GOT to stop. The only people in the past 5 years that haven't take a pay cut are goverment employees (and I even include our military) AND those on WELFARE or other benefits. Not even a freeze because they've been getting a COLA. Hell, my income has certainly suffered - maybe it's time some government employees work a 4-day week like many in the private sector have had to - give them a different perspective.
Just when you didnt think it could get any worse..... how long before you start flying Greeces' flag...
